Was it Unbound last year where the water stops ran out because the first wave of people were using the drinking water to clean the mud off their bikes? It's not just a problem for small events. I don't do enough events…
That looks perfect, thanks! I guess I should've reverted to the pre-google version of web search (what am I looking for? then add ".com")
Does Riding Gravel not maintain an event calendar anymore? It was nice having a fairly comprehensive single source rather than having to know of 6 or 7 websites to check in order to find out about rides within travel…

In 2019, the 100 mile route diverged from the 200 mile route at about mile 30. At mile 41, it rejoins the 200 mile course (at that course's 138 mile marker) and they share the way back to Emporia for the whole way back.…
Isn't that how it always is? That most of the 100 mile route is a subset of the 200 mile route? That's how it was the couple of times I've ridden parts of it.

Goes along the SE side of the lake - https://www.strava.com/activities/1537921817 (not me, just arbitrarily selected one of the fastest riders on a big segment.

Cool that any Dirty Kanza deferrals are now free (through May 15). I wonder if they'll do a second wave of entrants after they have a better idea of how many people are coming.

VeloNews has decided that they're qualified to declare 5 "gravel" races as " Monuments ". They're announcing one per day this week. So far, they've announced DK (the only unanimous item on their list) and Belgian Waffle…
Presumably since there are no transfers and that DK is allowing riders to postpone their entry to next year, there will be some amount of riders that drop out, and then there will be some amount of riders that are…
Also, what about spider-based power meters that'll work on my SRAM Force 1? I've looked into it in the past, but I can't quite figure it out.
That IQ2 looks good - anybody know if there are updates? Their website still says expected November 2019, but obviously that's in the past.
There should be tent/RV camping at the Lyon County Fairgrounds in town. Definitely rideable that morning.
Big Sugar kind of surprised me since it is a first year event, but it did look good.
On the one hand, surely they'll have a better name by next year, but on the other hand, "Gravelleur's Raid" is still the "USECF Gravel Grinder Nationals" so you never know...
Awesome, thanks!
